Author Notes: This is one of my favorite recipes because I love anchovies...I love to eat them right out of the can. A friend of mine who has lived in Italy from time to time first made a version of this recipe. He said that it was a recipe that even anchovy haters would love. Well, he did not anticipate the passion of anchovy haters. As he begged a guest to just TRY some of the sauce, she replied that "she would'nt because it had touched an anchovy!" So I practically had the whole dish to myself. I later made this dish for a very famous Italian winemaker who was duly impressed and of course loved anchovies!. - dymnyno
